Becoming worse day by day
This app used to perform well before. These days the app and the site on the web all of a sudden not working sometimes. Today after the market started the app crashed suddenly. I lost really good price action for 3 stocks because of this. A stock market brooking site should never go down. Now I am starting to look elsewhere as I no longer trust Vested. It’s been 40 minutes after the market opening and not able to reach site and app.

Personal Data hogger and A Masterclass in how NOT to build a user-centric product
This app is more interested in harvesting user data than delivering value. The onboarding experience is a textbook example of how to lose trust within the first few minutes. It aggressively asks for personal and professional details - workplace, city, headquarters, and more- with absolutely no clear justification.
What makes it worse? The surveys are mandatory. You can’t skip them. That alone tells you everything you need to know about the priorities of this product.
Instead of earning trust, the app tries to force compliance. Instead of delivering value first, it demands data upfront. And then has the audacity to claim this is “for the user’s benefit.” It isn’t. It’s for their metrics, their profiling, or their data pipeline-definitely not for the user experience.
The onboarding flow feels less like product design and more like a data collection form disguised as an app.
If the team wants to understand how to build something genuinely user-centric, they should study companies like Zerodha- where friction is minimized, trust is respected, and value comes before data extraction.
Until then, I’d strongly recommend skipping this app entirely. There are far better alternatives that don’t treat users like a dataset.

Customer support
There should be option to connect with vested customer support to answers the queries.
Good but with hidden costs.
Vested was the most reliable platform to buy into US funds given the reluctancy of Indian FM of blocking access via Index MFs. Albeit there are ever growing brokerage charges for both buying and selling as well as a final nearly 1.84% forex conversion charge while cashing out any money back into rupees. So unless you’ve got game locked in with 100x gains, I’ve decided to move on.
4 stars for the platform.
3 stars for the hidden charges and ever increasing brokerage fees.

Stale & incorrect stock prices shown in latest build
It’s extremely irresponsible of vested team to put out such a poor quality build in production which shows stale stock prices. Misrepresents data - increase in stock price showing in red and vice versa. Stock price on graph and rest of screen are not consistent. Sometimes the dashboard appears stretched and last columns are cropped out. I have shared already shared these details with Support and with screenshots. How can I trust Vested platform with my money when even the basic details are not even displayed correctly. I would suggest any new users to stay away from this app and try alternatives.
